  1. My ex worked for Bob at Lone Star @ 30 years ago, and I've never heard anything bad about him. I didn't know if you had some specific run in with him other than his sorry ass son being a murderer.
  2. I know John Birdwell is a POS, but what's the deal with his dad?
  3. Rent bikes in Santa Monica and ride the trail to Venice Beach and back. Upon return, eat lunch outside by the pier at Big Dean's Ocean Front Cafe. Great SoCal beach vibe. Have fun on your trip.
  4. $21 for a burger and fries. I'll let a few more people try it before I decide to take the plunge. I does look good though.
  5. Both can be true.
  6. Arvada would be a good location to retire. My Texas Ex son and his wife have lived there for the past 2 years and love it. It's less expensive than Golden or Boulder, and basically halfway between Golden and downtown Denver. There are lots of parks and trails, and Olde Town Arvada is a really cool place for drinks and dinner. It has a couple of light-rail (RTD) stations with a short ride to downtown, and it's just north of I-70 making it an easy drive to the mountains for the weekend.
  7. I agree. No issues with DIA at all, and quite frankly, Pre Check is quicker there than at most airports. Not to mention the very convenient RTD train to downtown and beyond.
  8. As of last Tuesday, that's been fixed. At least at the River Oaks location.
  9. Rent a couple of beach cruisers (one with a child seat) and ride up and down the Ocean Front Walk between Pac Beach and Mission Beach, but go in the morning before the crowds. Great beach vibe and views along the route. The Mission Beach section is quieter, and the basketball court at the south end of Mission Beach is one of the places where Bill Walton played growing up. The Spot in La Jolla would be a child friendly restaurant, along with Baked Bear in PB for ice cream/cookies, while Old Town is a cool area with decent Mexican food. Oh, and the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla would be a nice place for a quick family activity while up in that area. Have a great vacation!
  10. I know tots are tots, but theirs seem to better than than others.
  11. Unfortunately your wife was not wrong. I grew up on Gatti's and even worked at the one on 183/Balcones CC during summers while in school, and I can tell you the pizza is now of a very low quality. We have a new one near our home in Fort Worth and it's just not good at all. Years ago, they went to a different sauce, used grated smoky provolone instead of full slices of regular provolone, and started cooking them in conveyor ovens. Not nearly the same pizza.
  12. Maybe that's why she's made it to 84. 😉
  13. My wife and I were really disappointed in the food at the remodeled Pulido's. They did a nice job fixing the place up, but the salsa was bland, too tomatoey, and had an aftertaste similar to cocktail sauce. She said the flautas were good, but my cheese enchiladas had little taste and the rice and beans had no flavor at all. I'll probably give them another try because its close, but other people have written the same and apparently they haven't/won't adjust.
  14. FYI. You can have your pizza there made with thin crust, saving you about 7 of the 8 pounds. Plus, the honey is for the left-over crust. The pizza is decent, but the atmosphere, especially the one in Idaho Springs is fun.

    This may have been posted already, but the British studio and play by play chicks are making my ears bleed. Thank goodness the football has been great though.
